Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit, interact with, create an account on, or make a purchase from www.milsurpia.com (the “Site”).

Personal Information We Collect

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual pages you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

• “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

• “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

• “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site, measure interest in content, and understand usage.

Additionally, when you create an account, sign in, submit content, subscribe to communications, or make (or attempt to make) a purchase through the Site, we may collect certain information from you, including your name, email address, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers or other payment details you provide at checkout), and phone number. We refer to this information as “Account / Order Information.”

Facebook Login / Social Login Information

If you choose to sign up for or log in to Milsurpia using Facebook Login, we receive certain information from Meta Platforms (Facebook) so we can create or link your account. This typically includes your name, email address, and public profile picture. We use this information only to authenticate you, create your account, and let you access features like saving events or managing your profile.

We do not request or store additional data such as your friends list, gender, birthday, or other extended profile fields. We do not post to your Facebook account.

Stay22 / Travel & Lodging Widgets

We use Stay22 to display nearby lodging and travel offers around certain events and locations. When you view or interact with a Stay22 map or booking widget on our Site, cookies or similar tracking technologies may be used by Stay22 and its travel/booking partners to show relevant hotel listings, understand which links are clicked, and attribute bookings. Milsurpia may earn a commission on some of these bookings at no additional cost to you.

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking about Device Information and Account / Order Information, and, where applicable, limited login information received from third-party sign-in options like Facebook Login.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to operate, protect, and improve the Site and Services. This includes:

• Processing purchases, including taking payment, arranging for shipping, and providing invoices and/or confirmations.
• Creating and managing your user account, including accounts created via Facebook Login.
• Letting you save events, locations, or organizations to your profile and access them later.
• Sending you service messages (for example, account notices, confirmations, or important changes).
• Communicating with you about events, places, and updates related to military history that you’ve shown interest in or subscribed to.
• Screening for potential risk or fraud (in particular, using IP address and activity patterns).
• Improving and optimizing our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how visitors browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the performance of our content and outreach).
• Providing lodging listing experiences via partners such as Stay22, and measuring referral activity so we understand what people are interested in.

Where you have opted in, we may also use your email address to send newsletters, alerts, and marketing about upcoming events or new content. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in those emails or by contacting us.

Sharing Your Personal Information

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information as described above. Examples include:

• E-commerce and payment processing. We may use third-party commerce or payment providers to securely process orders, handle checkout, and deliver physical items. For example, certain transactions may be fulfilled through Shopify. You can read more about how Shopify uses personal information at https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy.
• Analytics. We use analytics tools (including Google Analytics) to help us understand how visitors use the Site. You can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can opt out of Google Analytics by visiting: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
• Authentication. When you choose to log in with Facebook Login, limited information (such as your name, email, and public profile image) is shared with us by Meta Platforms for the sole purpose of creating or connecting your account.
• Travel / lodging widgets. We embed Stay22 tools to show hotels and lodging near events. Stay22 and its partners may collect usage and referral data when you interact with those widgets so that relevant listings can be shown and bookings can be tracked for affiliate attribution.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations; to respond to a subpoena, search warrant, or other lawful request for information we receive; or to otherwise protect our rights.
